On this day in 1998, the Statue of Rome was adopted and the International Criminal Court (ICC) was established.

The legal foundation for the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) came into force on July 1, 2002.
The headquarters of ICC is located in The Hague, Netherlands.
It operates independently from the United Nations.
